The Long Walk

The first morning with no plan and nothing to organise

Oldest line first — the newest line is at the bottom.

Penny teacher
There's no list on the table this morning — first Saturday in months with nothing in it, and I've already caught myself writing one. Ask me something with no number in it.

Fair enough — no numbers. If a Saturday could be anything at all, what would you actually want to do with it, before you talk yourself out of it? What I'd want is to not decide anything for once. Just walk until we're somewhere, and then walk back.
Penny teacher
And what do you want, though — not the walk, after it. Do you want me to stop asking about the sums for a bit? Because I've just asked that as a question instead of saying it, haven't I.
Algy designer
No lists, no sums till the 27th — one morning we just do nothing with, and I'll leave it on the table with the unpaid invoices. Come on, the park's got a path with no number on it.
